Crop Microclimate Management introduces to the U.S. corn and soybean market a proprietary and unique mode-of-action product to enhance crop productivity by reducing the yield-robbing effects of extreme heat, cold, drought, moisture and light.

A product aimed solely at reducing the impact of the environment on crop health is hitting the market this year. Photon is a natural foliar spray that Dr. Chuck Kupatt, Crop Microclimate Management (CMM) R & D Director, says features an enzyme that modifies the protein in the plant. With this new technology Kupatt says, “that protein regulates about 450 other proteins and enzymes in the plant. What we do is shift the state of that protein and it’s a stress-sensing molecule.”
